OK I haven't been updating on this for a while but I did end up buying a separate RAM kit. For the first time since I started doing regular MemTests, I have a PASS at the 2 month mark! Though I had been somewhat avoiding RAM-intensive scenarios this time. Gonna let myself play Minecraft again soon.

Seeing this trend lately and it looked fun. These games are all spaces I grew up in, inspired me to create, influenced my tastes in other games, and/or just had a direct impact.

I'm not running them on a higher profile or anything, and from what I remember everything made sense with the baseline specs for the ram kit but I haven't checked what the CPU is rated for yet so I will have to do that

In the end I think most people are best served sticking with VSCodium, but if you're willing to put a little bit of time into first-time configuration for whatever environment you're working in, Kate should be able to handle like 90% of the same tasks.

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

So yeah there's a lot of little annoyances and a few missing things, but there's still a lot to like! There's several builtin plugins like linters, a compiler explorer, calls to external tools. There's a scriptable snippets system that's pretty neat. And best of all it's not an Electron app!

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

My one major gripe is that you can't see git diff colors in the gutter. Instead it marks lines that were modified as of opening the file, completely unaware of git. Makes it harder for me to gauge what I've changed without going to the git diff preview (which won't let you edit anything either).

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Kate does not have that luxury, but it does at least have a decent LSP client. You have to go out of your way to install (and sometimes configure) language servers yourself but once you do they integrate pretty well. And you can make use of all the language servers that are already made for VSCode.

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

That niche being better than Notepad (having actual code editing features) but not as heavy or as specialized as an IDE. VSCode thrives in that space, especially with its massive extensions marketplace that has stuff for practically any language or environment you need.

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Been trying out Kate as a replacement for VSCode/Codium (mostly because everytime I see new chat agent features in the changelog a little part of me dies inside) and it's certainly a text editor! There's definitely drawbacks and minor things to get used to but it does fill mostly the same niche.

There's a prebuilt firmware at sanrax.github.io/flashcart-gu... if you need. It only supports regular DS and modded DSi/3DS tho

Got a new motherboard and when I went to swap it out I noticed I had a standoff in the wrong spot 🤦🏽‍♂️ Anyway I tested my RMA'd RAM and my system's all in order again. Though I'm gonna keep MemTesting for a while to catch it early if there's still something wrong

Inside of my computer case, mostly empty except for some wiring. A standoff has been moved from its previous, incorrect place (marked with an X) to the correct spot a bit further down (marked with a green checkmark).

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Yeah considering that the last 2 kits tested fine initially I'm willing to believe they've never been to blame. I'm still gonna RMA them again, but while that goes thru I guess I'll shop around and see what I can get in terms of a motherboard replacement. Not sure I wanna risk staying w this one now

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

And I tested the PSU today! Everything was within the acceptable tolerances and the readings were very consistent, didn't notice anything fluctuating wildly. So I feel I can rule out the PSU at this point. Question is whether to trust that the BIOS was the problem or not before I risk my next kit

100

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Wasn't able to update the BIOS through the physical button, but doing it from within the bios itself worked fine. Memtest86 still gives errors. And this is TuxTimings with the new bios, looks very similar. Seems GDM is now enabled and command rate changed from 2T to 1T?

100

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

My boot was already broken anyway, already planned to fresh install once this is in order. I've been using a USB live environment to rescue files + do this tuxtimings thing. Yeah I'll give the bios an update then. But aside from that I guess the current plan is just test the PSU at some point tmrw

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

And finally the BIOS *is* out of date by like 2 versions, though it was the most recent version for the day I built the PC. And the listed patch notes don't seem to be relevant to this issue as far as I can tell.

DVdo @dvdo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

And in terms of the live voltage view I did find github.com/Death4two/Tu... which, assuming I've installed everything correctly, does give me some voltages, but seemingly not all of them. And I've no clue what most of those acronyms mean yet but here they are

Screenshot of TuxTimings. In the RAM tab under Voltages, the non-empty items are:
VSOC 0.9750 V
CLD0 VDDP 0.9002 V
VDDG CCD 0.9002 V
VDDG IOD 0.9002 V
VCORE 1.4500 V
PPT 15.8 W
